UVA Center for Politics Director Larry Sabato on Thursday said GOP leaders may not be able to trigger a new election, but could still in fact get Moore removed if elected. “I don’t think it will ever happen and Sen. Strange has already said he won’t do it and the governor, Kay Ivey, has already indicated she won’t play along. That’s kind of all the key people. The Alabama election laws are unusual, but they are the law,” he said.
